A/N: I am shocked and appalled. Every reviewer that gave their opinion said more description. Where have we all been hiding? UNDER A FRICKIN ROCK?!? You wait for me to ask before you say anything. I want criticism every time you review, ya hear me?!? What you all said is exactly what I want to hear! I can't improve if you don't tell me what's wrong! From now on, no mercy, okay? I'm not angry at you guys but you want better reading material right? So then why don't you tell me what you would like?
DBZAngelX: Thank you! Wooh, no story change for me! Thanks! Oh, and as for your opinion, thanks a lot for that, much appreciated. You liked the bit with Goku and Pan eh? Heh, I thought that was lame but it looks like it is wanted so I will put it back up, just for you :D. No bad chapters? C'mon, there has to have been SOME bad ones... at least one... What are you hiding in the corner for? I won't hurt you ::whistles while trying desperately to hide weapons behind her back:: BZZZT! Hah... I don't know why I wrote "BZZZT!" -.-
animemastr21: Can I just say that you are so right. People reviewing and not reading is exactly like cheating, couldn't have put it better myself. I don't know why, but I just get this feeling that they don't read it... I could be wrong, never know :D
Thank you for your opinion, it is much appreciated, I do agree that I need to get some description in a little more, I try, I really do but I guess I should proof read more than once because every time I proof read I am always adding description to it and stuff so that could do me some good :P. No bad chapters? Aww, there must have been a chapter that you liked the least... there has to have been...
Without You
Chapter 9: Formulation
"Ready," Bulma announced.
She came into the room where everyone was lounging.
"Excellent," Vegeta exclaimed.
"Great, now you can go save Pan, in style!" Bulla cried slapping her dad a reluctantly returned high-five.
"Save Pan? Where is she?"
Everyone spun around only to see Jak standing in the doorway, energetically bouncing up and down. Bulla laughed nervously.
"Well... uh... Pan? She... uh-huh... ah-huh... uh... uh... she's..." Bulla stuttered.
"With Clifford," Trunks said, finishing her sentence, disgusted with what he was hearing.
"How cute, you finish each other's sentences, you two... going out?" Jak asked, interested.
"No... that's my brother! Who'd want to go out with him? I don't have a boyfriend," Bulla said, suggestively.
Jak laughed nervously. 'Is she hitting on me? Eh... she's cute, I have no problem,'
"Really? I'm free Friday," Jak said, leaning against the doorway.
"Me too,"
"Pick you up at seven,"
"Seven it is,"
Bulma chuckled along with Chi Chi and Videl at the oncoming romance.
"Jak? Are you flirting again?" Neko asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Maybe... maybe not,"
"I take that as a yes. Who's the unlucky girl?"
Bulla was still in a dreamy state, not able to hear anyone in the real world.
"The chick with the blue hair, hot, huh?"
"You don't know her name?"
"I'll find out soon,"
Neko patted Bulla on the shoulder.
"Good luck, soldier come back to us alive," she saluted Bulla and left, sniffling "Where's the bathroom?"
"First door on the left," Bulma said, pointing down the hallway.
"Thank you,"
"What? What did I do for you to thank?" Felix asked as he crashed into the wall next to Neko.
"Not you silly,"
"Okay, sorry,"
"How come she's so nice to him and not me?" Jak complained.
Felix crashed into the door of the bathroom and slid to the ground in a half-asleep state.
"Oh my god, Felix, are you okay?" Neko screamed as Felix groaned and pulled himself up.
"Uh-huh... what happened?" Felix asked, clueless.
"Oh no! You have amnesia!" Neko cried.
She picked Felix up as tears welled in her eyes and took him into the room he was sleeping in.
"Talk about obsessed..." Bulla muttered, now out of her dream state.
"You can't talk, what were you just doing?" Trunks shot back, grinning triumphantly.
"Well..." Bulla stuttered in defeat.
"Heh, heh, heh,"
"So... where's Pan?" Jak asked, getting back on subject.
"We told you, she's with Clifford," Vegeta snorted.
"Let's go get her then,"
"You will stay here," Vegeta ordered.
"No way, i'm going too! You can't leave me out," Jak protested.
"Giru think Jak should stay," Giru said, entering the room with Goten.
"Hey Giru! How ya doing buddy,"
"Giru is good,"
"Sweet,"
"Let's go Kai," Vegeta ordered Kibito-Kai.
"Is everyone ready?"
"Sure am," Jak said.
"You're not coming," Vegeta told him again.
"Oh yes I am,"
"Oh no you're not,"
"Oh yes I am,"
"YOU ARE NOT COMING!" Vegeta cried.
"I AM COMING!" Jak cried back.
Vegeta growled and walked away, giving up.
"Fine," he grumbled.
"Alright!" Jak cried in triumph.
"Don't get too excited," Vegeta grumbled.
"So... Vegeta? What do you plan on doing? Actually demolishing Clifford or preparing for the perhaps consequences of the dragons and the people on his planet.
"That was a stupid question! I plan to kill him woman,"
"Just checking,"
Bulma smiled. She was certain things would turn out good. They didn't need Goku.

Mister Popo looked up from his book "Losing Weight in Thirty Days" and noticed something wasn't quite right.
"Dende?" he asked, looking around in his seat "Gohan?"
The eerie silence scared Popo slightly.
'What if Clifford took Gohan? What if he took Dende?' Popo started to panic 'Calm down Popo, i'm sure they're here somewhere,'
Mister Popo was on the lowest level of Dende's lookout. He ambled silently through the halls, looking at pictures of past guardians and their advisors, it was slightly intriguing. He thought he would only serve one but was terribly mistaken. Dende was a good guardian of Earth as well as Kami but Popo did miss him. Mister Popo stopped at a large, beautifully crafted door. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Popo furrowed his brow in thought as to whether Gohan and Dende could have gone in there or not. He cast the thought aside and turned the brass door handle, entering the chamber. He let out a cry of surprise and anger as he was eaten by a terribly strong force. The door closed behind him, leaving Popo to get out of the mess he was in.
"Have you seen Mister Popo?" Dende asked.
"No, sorry," Gohan replied.
"Something doesn't seem right, not right at all,"
-#-#-
"Are we ready?" Trunks asked.
"We sure are Trunks," Vegeta said enthusiastically.
"Cool let's go," Jak said, moving forward.
"Hey, ey, ey! Where are you going?" Trunks asked, grabbing Jak's collar.
"To save Pan,"
"A few simple rules first. Number one. Shut up! Number Two. No playing hero, ya hear me? Number three. You're a newbie to this stuff, don't get in our way, we've been fighting evil beings since we were six. Number four. Stay away from my sister,"
"Hey! What's that got to do with the mission?" Jak complained "And i'm not a newbie! I just lack in a few areas,"
"Yeah, severely. Now I swear I said something about shutting up..."
"You did,"
"WELL THEN DO IT!"
"Sheesh... okay, okay,"
"Thank you, now let's get a move on, shall we?"
"Kai?!?" Vegeta asked.
"I'm coming!" Kibito said, racing out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee Chi Chi forced him to drink "Ready? Let's go!"
-#-#-
"Where are you going?" Gohan asked, looking up from last week's newspaper.
"I'm worried about Mister Popo,"
"Why didn't you say so? Let's go look for him, together,"
"Let's,"
Together, Gohan and Dende went in search of their lost companion, Popo. They searched everywhere until they came to the final floor, near the chamber.
"I can feel something strange down here,"
"Maybe it's because you haven't been down here in a while," Gohan suggested.
"I was here yesterday," Dende told him.
Gohan furrowed his brow in thought then his eyes lay on the door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He smiled, so many memories.
"Do you think... he's in there" Dende asked Gohan.
"Only one way to find out,"
Gohan placed his hand on the handle then quickly took it back.
"Mister Popo may be in there but he has friends," Gohan shouted angrily "MISTER POPO! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, MOVE AWAY FROM THE DOOR!"
"But.. Gohan!" Dende protested as Gohan stepped back.
"KA-ME-HA-ME... HA!"
A neon blue river of energy poured from Gohan's hands and into the door of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Dende moved closer to Gohan, scared for Mister Popo's safety.
"Dende?"
"Mister Popo! You're alive!"
"Something is trying to get you Dende, you must be extra careful,"
"Yes Popo, I will,"
"Thank you Gohan, how would you like something to eat?"
"That would be great!"
"Good, let's go then,"
GOHANGIRL: A bit shorter than usual, sorry about that.

MAJIN BUU: But I don't want your homework...
GOHANGIRL: OH YES YOU DO! ::kicks Buu in shins and runs away from her maths homework::
GOKU: Someone doesn't like maths...
PAN: Someone took a long time realizing that... not mentioning any names ::turns head to Goku::
GOKU: Yeah... ::turns head to Buu::
MAJIN BUU: Erm... I think she meant you...
GOKU: Oh...
PAN: Now, let's wait for this one to register...

PAN: You don't even like cheeseburgers...
GOHANGIRL: I know...
